The hawk stayed with it's prey for 40 mins before deciding to eat and could easily had been run over in the middle of the road had not a passer by picked the pigeon up and put it by the edge of the road where the hawk returned to the prey and was approachable to within 5 or 6 feet! Lucky escape for the hawk - but not the pigeon.
In the right place at the right time Nick/Ady - well done with the camera

This reminds me of a Male Sparrowhawk I saw once take a pigeon on off India Buildings (opposite Eureka) in Halifax, it fell to the ground with it's dead prey in it's talons - looking around at the traffic queuing to go work, as if to say "I know I should be flying - stop looking at me!!"
